It worked easy and perfectly with Tiger. I had two partitions, one was a helper with OS9 and the other had OS9.2.2 and Tiger. I could even boot from an external FireWire drive.
Since I put in a 60GB drive with three partitions when I boot 9 and choose XPostFacto to boot OSX all the volumes have a caution symbol. But if i select the OSX on the helper that has a caution sign it will boot into Tiger. If I select the Tiger on the 40GB volume that also has a caution sign all I get is a white screen??? I have done every method of copying these volumes to this drive with the same results. It will not even allow me to select the install disk to try and do a clean install and start all over,PITA. I wonder if there is an issue with the 60GB drive. It works in the TiBooks and any other machine I hook it to. I still have the original 20GB drive that I did the XPost facto on so next I'll put it back in and see how it acts. I need the 60GB drive though because of the 40 GB Tiger and OS9.2.2 combination.
